Im looking to find a light for my 60 cube. looking to do about 50% sps and 50% lps and zoas. which lighting fixture would you guys/gals recommend? I was looking at the ATI 6x24w but was told it wouldnt be strong enough. Then looked at the 8x24w and was told it my damage the lps and soft coral. I think MH would cause me to run a chiller which I dont want to do (another expense) and Im still confused about LED (getting super mixed reviews on these) Im guessing because they are fairly new in comparison to MH and T5. pics of success of a set up similar to what I am talking about would be GREATLY GREATLY appreciated. been going back and forth with this for about a week and mind is turning into a huge cluster *****.
thanks
 
6 x 24 should be fine, but I also think that 8 x 24 would not burn anything if properly acclimated
 
I agree, just use the 6 bulb fixture as long as you use good bulbs and individual reflectors you should be fine.
